Most daring thing you have ever done
What is the most daring thing you have ever done?
Why do I ask? I'm signed up to go sky diving this weekend and want to wet myself. I may need to invest in depends. So I need some inspiration from you ladies as to what you have done that scared you!

My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
I went white-water rafting down the Austrian Tyrol, and I went sledding on one of the highest mountains in the Swiss Alps. Both were on a 16-day European adventure where I was apparently in my "go big or go home" state of mind the entire time.
FTW.
I was going for the LOLZ
I think white water rafting, ziplining and sky diving are all incredibly exhilarating (haven't sky dived or bungee jumped, but I've heard both are awesome).
I think this scares me more than jumping out of a plane
Sure, if jumping out of a plane goes well, it's over in a matter of minutes. If pushing babies out the vajayjay goes well, it never ends!

I just spit out my Diet Coke. Nice. lol
Alex and I are sort of extremists (my Mum's word). We have gone sky diving, white water rafting, surfing, scuba diving (with sharks), high ropes courses, ziplining, backcountry skiing, cliff skiing... Next on the list? Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro next January and heli-skiing next February. I cannot wait!
My rec for your sky diving experience? If you even get the slightest case of motion sickness, take a dramamine before you get there. I had never experienced it before, and it sucked. After your parachute inflates, they twist and turn you around a bunch and I got pretty queezy, which is weird considering how many crazy things I do!
I survived the RoLex wedding and all I got was this lousy husband.

LOL @ Angelfire.
Of all the things, I'd have to say that skydiving was probably the most risky. I've done SCUBA, parasailing, rockclimbing, lived on a glacier and was a whitewater raftguide too (if you think what we take customers on is risky...you should see what we try when its a boatfull of guides). The skydiving though had the least room for error had something gone wrong. That moment when you're sitting on the edge of the plane looking out is a memorable one. Awesome experience though.

I've gone skydiving a bunch of times. Daring yes, scary, no.
The thing I did that I was most scared of was probably swimming a class 5 rapid in Maine. Keep in mind, this was not by choice. My *** friends got scared and decided that they didn't wanted to hang on to the boat instead of paddling through the rapid. Our boat flipped and everyone swam.
Junebug - I am pretty sure you know exactly what I swam - The Cribworks on the Penobscot. Our boat flipped right at the top and I swam to the bottom.
